FISH OILS BOOST HEART ATTACK RECOVERY: High doses of omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil can aid recovery from a heart attack, say scientists.

Taking omega-3 improves heart function and reduces scarring in undamaged cardiac muscle, results from a clinical trial have shown.

Heart attack patients taking part in the trial were given either a 4g daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids for six months or a placebo.
